Missing
When you love another person, that love gets interwoven into every single fiber of your being. When they are no longer here with you, the love is still there but it just feels so different. It becomes this bittersweet sadness that you carry every single day. You long to hear their voice one more time. You wish you hugged them tighter when you had the opportunity. You live in this constant state of flux in your mind going from past memories to the present and realizing over and over again that they are no longer here.
It's amazing how the mind works. It can protect us fiercely but at the same time it can trick us into thinking we are not in our own reality. It may ease over time, that's what is said, but maybe it's really more like this sadness becomes more familiar to you. It may never lessen over time, instead it may change as you continue to carry it with you ... and maybe that's not a bad thing. Maybe, just maybe, that feeling is the reminder of how much we miss this person and ultimately, how much we can now understand the depth in which we loved.
